Rocking out Hotline Miami. Fun stuff.

Welcome to the first edition of N4G Deals, where our friends from Dealzon find you the best gaming deals from across the web. The post features everything from PC digital downloads to titles for the 360 and PS3. While most of our deals are curated from US retailers, we will occasionally feature digital download deals also redeemable in other regions.

Fans of Gearbox software will also want to take a look at Aliens: Colonial Marines, currently available at Green Man Gaming for only $37.50. The Season Pass is already available for pre-order as well, currently at $20.25 for the US (and also available in the UK). While full details for Colonial Marine's Season Pass haven't been released yet, if the campaigns are anything like what Gearbox did with Borderlands 2, fans should be well served. Thus far, the sole confirmed DLC is a “Bug Hunt” add-on, valued at $14.99 according to Walmart.

If you still haven't played DayZ yet and don't want to wait for the stand-alone version, GameFly has ArmA 2: Combined Operations for $11.99. This is the new lowest price we've found for the package. Combined Operations comes with ArmA 2 plus Operation Arrowhead - both required components to play the popular zombie apocalypse mod DayZ.

Owners of PS3s will want to check out the Final Fantasy Anniversary sale on the PlayStation Network, featuring most popular titles for 50% off. Check the bottom of the deals list for full details on the titles available, but suffice it to say some good nostalgia will be had. (FF Tactics for $5 anyone?)

Just as a heads-up, there's actually an even better deal going on for Aliens: Colonial Marines on PC at "GetGamesGo.com". They currently have the pre-order priced at $38.50, but if you use the coupon code "LV-426" it drops it down to $30. You still get the pre-order bonus rifle, and after ordering you should receive a Steam Activation code in your email within several hours. I already received mine from them in order to start pre-loading the game. You can also get the season pass for $24 from there, but it seems like GreenManGaming would be a better option for the Season pass if you can still get it $20 from there.

Ok, so does N4G have a partnership with dealzon.com or something? I only ask because when a normal member would post something like this, it would rightly be marked as spam because, you know, blogs aren't supposed to be advertising stuff but I see that a Network Manager approved this so is the blog section now going to be overrun with people selling their wares and essentially become a new ad zone?

Agreed. I was going to report this as soon as I saw it because it was just like all the other self-promoting blogs that have been surfacing these past few days, but then I saw that big number 10 after the one approval that it got and knew something was up. Sure enough a Network Manager approved the blog meaning no report would matter and that seems very unfair to everyone else who has to go through the process.

There are already plenty of ads on the site as it is, I don't really think we need any more.
